Defrosted two packs for visitors, who only wanted toast, and now have to eat 'em. We are both out all day next week, and so I need ideas for main meals to use it up. Proper main meals, not suppers or snacks (they only infuriate me when himself asks 'whats for the main course?' )

I've been using up odd pumpkins and root veggies in to dauphinoise type things and putting snips of bacon between the layers before adding the cream/milk mix.

Bacon roly-poly = suet pastry with bacon, onions and sage rolled up and steamed. A favourite meal when I was a child . Good old Quiche Lorraine is worth revisiting from time to time too, I think.

Does the bacon have to be a main course?
I'm quite partial to Devils on Horseback (a rare treat).

have you lot been in my cupboards? I've pastry in the freezer from christmas, leeks in the veg box, and roast chicken in a bit, so that'll be chicken, bacon and leek pie tommorow. Possibly with jerusulem artichokes. I've also got a cupboard full of beans (no kale or pork though) and a squash to use up. I've also just been given a recipe for bacon and lentil soup, which was very delicious. Might have that Wednesday.

No eggs though - for the first time in about a hundred years!
